I'm following the instructions (Appendix: Technical Documents / Moving Servers / 2) Backing-Up the Current Database) and finally achieved login success with PUTTY.
After trying the command 'mysqldump --opt -Q -uUSERNAME -p DATABASENAME > /PATH/TO/DUMP.SQL' a number of different times, I can't seem to find the DUMP.SQL file
Is this file supposed to be on my computer? Or is the /path/to/ on the hosting environment?
NOTE: I removed /path/to/, as the instructions say 'If you did not specify a full directory, the file will be in the directory you are currently in.' - but I don't know what directory I'm in as I have no skill with working in command line - and I cannot find the backup file.
Appreciate any help.
Doug
